Conte insists on long term Chelsea stay
Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has reiterated his desire to stay at Chelsea for a long time
and continue the rebuilding process which he started at the club this season.
Conte, who has been under immense pressure from the Chinese owners of Inter Milan and AC Milan in his home land Italy to return home is planning to continue his excellent work at Chelsea.
"I hope to stay for a long time here," Conte told Sky Sports. "Coaching is not an easy job and a lot depends on the results.
"I like to think results are important, but they are not everything. I think for every coach our work is important every day and then to be judged.
"During the game I think I show my passion and my will to not lose. I don't want to lose. I love football and I think people understand my passion. It's great to know that Chelsea fans are happy with me."
Chelsea didn't start particularly well under Antonio Conte, losing back to back against Liverpool and Arsenal.
"I was worried at the start because it's not easy and when you arrive and find a situation totally different," he added. "To transfer your ideas, your philosophy, to the training sessions, wasn't easy.
"We needed a bit of time for me to adapt and for the players to adapt to my philosophy. I always saw great commitment from the players and great work-rate and attitude."
After both defeats Conte changed Chelsea's formation to 3-4-3 and never looked back as Chelsea enjoy 4 points gap ahead of Tottenham Hotspur with a game in hand against Manchester United tonight.
"I am happy for the work we are doing with the club, with the staff, with the players. It's not easy to arrive, my first experience in England, a new league and new language, it's not easy," Conte continued.
"I must be pleased for these reasons. We are in a good position, fighting to win the title, but the road is long and we must pay great attention.
"Until now it's a good season, I hope it will become a great season. We are top and want to keep this position. It won't be easy for sure.
"We want to reach the target and if we are able to then it will be an amazing achievement for me and the players. We started the season as underdogs.
"I want to win first then I say where it compares to other achievements in my career."
